Enabling Verbose Logging

Rather than poking in the dark trying to work out the delays you can turn on verbose logging for the userenv process.

 

  1. Open the registry of the computer/server you are troubleshooting
  2. Browse to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon
  3. Right click Winlogon, select New, and then chosse DWORD
  4. Enter the following name for the DWORD Value: UserEnvDebugLevel
  5. Enter 30002 as a hex value

 

Userenv will now log to %systemRoot%\Debug\UserMode

Grab a copy of Policy Reporter from SysPro Soft, this will help you in parsing the log files, alternativley you can open the files in notepad/wordpad and run through them manually
